As we celebrate the joy and wonder of Christmas, we’re thrilled to share the latest story of God’s provision and the incredible impact of our Sweetheart City Car Show ministry.
Thanks to the generous proceeds from our 2025 Sweetheart City Car Show, we were able to purchase and fully prepare a reliable vehicle for a single mom in desperate need: a 2007 Chevy Suburban with over 200,000 miles—but now running like new!
This Suburban was sourced from a skilled mechanic at Metric Motors, who specializes in restoring vehicles that need major repairs. He fixed everything required and graciously charged us only for parts, donating his labor to the cause. The ripped leather front seats were repaired at no charge by our partners at Stitchmasters Upholstery. We also received new tires at cost from Big O Tires, ensuring the vehicle is safe, comfortable, and road-ready.
Stitchmasters even hosted the donation presentation at their shop—despite the electricity being off that day!
Our recipient had been relying on her late mother’s old Ford Expedition. During the car show’s inspection and a follow-up at our trusted partner, Gerry’s Auto Care, it became clear the Expedition was beyond repair—the costs far outweighed its value. Tragically, her mother recently passed away before transferring the title to our client, putting our client in a serious transportation bind.
Now, she’ll register this Suburban in her own name—free and clear, with no debt!
When we called to share the news, her reaction was pure joy. Though she’s not much of a “car person,” she confessed that a Suburban has always been the one vehicle she admired and dreamed of owning one day. What a perfect match—truly a Christmas miracle!
May this story remind us all of Jesus, the light of hope that defines this holy season.
Merry Christmas!
In His Service,
The Car Show Team
